I think he is referencing Unicode quotes which are angled to
differentiate between closing and opening brackets.
As an interesting expirement in Emacs:
# U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
$ find . -name 'ChangeLog*' | xargs grep ‘ | wc -l
705
# U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
$ find . -name 'ChangeLog*' | xargs grep ’ | wc -l
1599
# U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
find . -name 'ChangeLog*' | xargs grep “ | wc -l
119
# U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
$ find . -name 'ChangeLog*' | xargs grep ” | wc -l
119
